STEP 197 KNOWLEDGE MUST BE EXPERIENCED TO BE REALIZED.

Today I will not think that I can understand Knowledge with my intellect or that I can conceptualize the greatness of life. I will not think today that by a mere idea or assumption I can fully gain access to Knowledge itself. Realizing this, I will understand what is required of me and what I must give to my practices, for I must give of myself.

今天，我不会认为自己可以用智力来理解内识，也不会认为我可以将生命的伟大概念化。今天，我不会再认为，仅凭一个想法或假设，我就能完全获得内识本身。认识到这一点，我就会理解对我的要求是什么，我必须为我的实践付出什么，因为我必须给予我自己。

You must give of yourself. You cannot merely think of ideas and hope that they will answer your greatest need. Realizing this today, repeat your practice upon the hour and in your deeper meditations give yourself completely to the experience of Knowledge. Enter into stillness. Allow yourself to be completely involved. With this you will exercise the power of your own mind on your behalf. You will then realize that you have the power to dispel distractions; you have the power to dispel fear; you have the power to dispel obstructions because your will is to know Knowledge.

你必须给予自己。你不能只拥有想法，希望它们能满足你最大的需求。今天，意识到这一点，请在每一小时重复你的练习，在更深入的冥想练习中，将自己完全交给内识的体验。进入静止状态。让自己完全投入其中。这样，你就能代表自己行使心灵的力量。然后你就会意识到，你有力量驱散杂念；你有力量驱散恐惧；你有力量驱散障碍，因为你的意志知道内识。
